Types of Pool Water Sanitation.
There are a variety of pool water treatment options beyond the traditional chlorine, although it remains the most popular option.
Chlorine is added to a pool to combat algae or other bacteria that can gather in the water. Chlorinated water relies on a proper pH balance to prevent an overly chemical-smelling pool.
While saline pools, also known as saltwater pools, are not chlorine-free, they consist of a salt-chlorine generator that produces lower levels of chlorine.
Mineral water pools are chlorine-free and use disinfecting minerals to prevent bacteria and algae.
